Chris here with some more ideas for activities to wrap up the weekend. Below are seven basic role playing situations you can use in your classes. The topics are adaptable to practically any level. You can prioritize and setup the vocabulary and grammar for whichever language you teach. Let me know what you think or if you have any role playing situations of your own that you like to use in class. Enjoy!
You are planning a trip to Berlin (or another city)
- One Student plays the traveler and one plays the travel agent
- Traveler asks about price, departure, arrival times, general questions about the flight & accommodations, tourist activities
At the restaurant: Splitting the bill
- Two or more students are at a restaurant trying to split a bill
- Students must decide how much each will pay and what tender, who will leave a tip, etc
- One student can be added to play the waiter
You live are an American student who has just moved to (City X) to spend a year studying abroad
- One student plays your neighbor in the student dorm/apartment/suite mate while the other is the new arrival
- The American students is a bit lost and asks several questions: where classes are, how to get to the various classes, where to shop for groceries etc
- The German student gives explanations and advice
- One or more students stop by and want to buy your furniture
- Students practice negotiating prices and furniture vocabulary
- A small group of students is out shopping for cars
- Students discuss what type of cars and characteristics in a car they are looking for, as well as price range
- One student plays a salesperson who tries to convince students to buy a car

- It can be required that they reach a consensus and must spend the money on something beneficial
- Very open-ended role-playing situation where students can be creative
